It is predicted that employee commitment may be increased when the employee are satisfied by the elements of compensation. Hence the researcher focuses on the relationship between compensation and commitment, factors of compensation affecting employee commitment, and identifies the employee’s perception towards the components of pay model. The researcher has conducted the study with 300 samples collected from small manufacturing industries in Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu, India.
